Strom

Strom deals with the Oder habitat from the point of view of change. The Oder, whose name translates roughly to "the river that constantly changes its course," is not only confronted with natural changes in its course but also with the effects of human activity. The series focuses on the intricate and far-reaching consequences of this dynamic relationship.

About

Justus Lemm

Bio

Justus Lemm is a Berlin-based photographer and recent graduate of the Ostkreuzschule of Photography. His work engages with anthropological and sociological topics, examining how humans relate to the world and to one another. He often integrates themes of alienation and disconnection. His graduation project, Lithics, is a speculative, research-based documentary that traces early human history through landscapes and materials, probing the origins of human behavior, our evolving relationship with the environment, and the fragility of existence.

Alongside his artistic practice, he also works as a freelance photographer, specializing in editorial, portrait, and documentary contexts.
